Guitars and drums

I won't ever undetstand why "Guitars and drums" has been erased from the I Would Die 4 U extended version: just like if it was censored...

I think he was just tryna clean it up lol. Just like the cleaned up vocals n extra oohs during the sax solo. The latter is the only reason I would bump the released version. 30 minutes is too short 4 that groove foodnow smile.

For all time I am with you, you are with me.

Yeah, I just noticed that the first time the other day when listening to the 30 minute version. You can hear just a mumble on the official 12", but it's unedited on the 30-minute leak.

I'd agree it was just cleaning it up. Hell, look at the flubs he made on "I Would Die 4 U" and "Purple Rain" on that First Avenue tape.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

on the extended version of IWD4U, he says "guitars and horns, drop out..", when he's shouting out directions to Miko, Wendy & Eddie M.... it comes probably about 20 minutes in, before some jazzy piano soloing starts.... its not on the 10 minute extended version...

OH---okay. Thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, I can see how i might have missed that. So, is it edited out of the released version just because the entire section is gone (what I think you're saying), or is the section there but the line has been specifically removed? I haven't listened to either one in a while, and I'm not really interested in doing so right now.

By the way, on the 30 minutes version: why the intro (spoken part) has a different audio source from the rest?

There is a version out there with the elite which includes the fart click track that Prince originally laid down. That was virtually mixed out of all circulating versions but I think it can be heard occasionally in the left channel.

I'm gonna have to go and listen to these two tracks again, huh? And listen close? Or can I just pretend I never read these comments?

I am what I am--I'm gonna have to go listen to them. Just not right now (because another part of what I am is a big old procrastinator--and I'm lazy, and the hard drive they're on is at least 5 feet away from where I'm sitting).
